On the congestion market, trading platforms are digital marketplaces where market parties trade flexible capacity via redispatch to help resolve grid congestion. These platforms facilitate electricity trading and enable participants to submit bids to increase or decrease their energy production or consumption, depending on the needs of the grid. This allows them to manage risks and capture value from market opportunities.
GOPACS works with trading platforms such as ETPA, EPEX SPOT and (soon) Nord Pool, giving a wide range of market parties access to the congestion market.
Within this setup, bids from different platforms are combined into a single virtual order book. This bundles flex offers across platforms, enabling faster and more efficient resolution of congestion.
Trading electricity on these platforms allows market parties to actively contribute to grid management—while generating revenue from their flexibility.
